Lates from Teras.-The steamer Sa

yesterday from Galveston. From ihe pa

wing synopsis of news:
The Texan re venue cutter Santa An

they give ground to anticipate a peace
favorable to Texa.
Col. Warleld has arrived at Washing
. ton, and reports, that after following the
traders some distance on the Santa l''e
road. be ascertained that they had formed
ajunction with the army, and as they
numbered five or six hundred, and he had
only sixty men, he deemed it prudent to
return to the settlements, % hich lie effec
ted wtb safety. The colonel expresbes
himself to be familiar with the country,
and that the command of Col. Saively
has also arrived in Fannin county a few
weeks since. He isabout to publisha re
port of the whole expedition.
The British sloop of war Scylla return
ed to Galveston from Vera Cruz, on the

depatches for the B ritish Mioister. at
Galveston.. It is learned by reports which
she brought, that the Texan prisoners are
to be marched to the Rio Grande in a bo
dy, and there liberated. We hope this
may prove to be true, but we have doubts
of its authenticity.
The Commissioners who went out for
the purpose of forming a treaty with the
Indians. had not been heard of for some
days. It was feared the Indians would
play them false. They failed to meet
them in two places--at La Grange and

PROSPECTS OF COTTON.
The following facts as to Cotton would
go to show that in relation to this as to
other vegetable productions. whenevet
nature makes an extraordinary elTort one
season, there is almost sure to follow a fall
ing ofror relapse in the ensuing season
s if she required time to recruit her ex
bausted powers.
The instaoaees are selected from statist ics
of the period since 1824, and are of those

duction-thus:

1848-4, will be, say 1,000.000 d. 578,000
The above singular coincidences, if th~ey
deserve to be regarded as nothing more,
would go strongly to confirm the universal
impression in the Cotton growing country,
that the present crop will not be ovecr I,
800,000 bales, and to aut horise the con
clusion that this expectation way even be
founded on. a taw of nat ure.
The unpropiteous seasonl for planting
the injury sustained by nue Cotton in its
early growth, and its consequent back
y'ardoess--the influenco these circum
stances have upon the prouuction of al
plants, not excepting this. renders it im
possible wyithotut taking in vie w the chances
oflan early frost, that a full crop of Gottor
can he made, and shr~w indeed, that it w ill
he very much less than the crop of Iast
year. If the crop he but 1,800,000O bales,
there mast he considerable improvemet
in prices. and the prospects of the planter
are cheering and should not be hastily
thrown away by a too precipitate rush
into the market. And when tho vast in
crease in the consumption which has lately
taken place (the necessary consequence of
low prices.) is constdered, is it unreasona
ble to expect that the prices of Cotton will
go to 10, to 12 cents. or even higher ?
'The great increase in this crop arose in a
mess from the large quantity of the preri
eserop held back.
B.ea' fMare.-The agent of Mr.
Bommer -a here a few days ago, and
had a heap constructed in Mr. liussell's
vegetable garden. The materials are
now rotted, and Mr. Russell invites plan
ters who may feel curiosity on thbe sub
jecr, to call aod examine for themselves.
We expressed the fearsome weeks ago,
that the process would create a stench so
og'uivo as to produce sickness. Air. It.
however, assures us that this is not the
case; that he snperintendeld this, and as.
aisted oflentimes, and that there was aot
a more strong or offeusive odor than is
experienced by being near an ordinary
smanure heap.-The offensive odor, he
says. is prevented by the materials used
with the water, lime, ashes, &c.
Withont being sangnine in our expec
tations that this system of making manure
will prove to be of great benelit in t'.Je
South, we think. nevertheless, that it hat
snicient testimony in its favor to rendet
it worthy of investigation on the part of
planters. A. the right for a hundred
acres costs but ten dollars, it would be
well for a few neighbors in dillerent places
to unite in purchasing the said right and
.thus try the experiment, at a trifling ex
yenae to each. And if~gafter a fair trial,

eluded from all posts of trust, profit or it
honor. I
The man who takes a paper from year v
to year without paying any thing on his E
subscription. ought to come to a crust of P
bread, and be obliged to pick his teeth 6
with a hobnail. that he may know how c
good it feels for a printer to make himself I
poor by paying out every dollar he can f
raise, for paper, ink, and labor, for the p
benefit and gratification of some 5 or 600 p
gentlemen, who pay him in "patronage." I

The man who takes a paper and pays u
